Alex Tetteh, a member of the communications team for New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful Kennedy Agyapong, has performed traditional rites to invoke curses on former Member of Parliament for Akim Abuakwa South, Samuel Atta Akyea.
Alex Tetteh performed the rites on Thursday, December 18, 2025, citing Atta Akyea’s denial of a 2016 meeting with Kennedy Agyapong at Heathrow Airport in London, where Atta Akyea allegedly made disparaging remarks about then-NPP presidential candidate Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
“I summon Atta Akyea to you if Kennedy says he met Atta Akyea at Heathrow Airport in 2016 and he claims it never happened,” Tetteh stated while pouring libation with bottles of Schnapps.
“If Atta Akyea knows the claim by Kennedy is true and is going ahead to refute it just to bring Kennedy’s name into disrepute, I summon Atta Akyea and everyone around him to you,” he added.
As part of the rites, Tetteh, who described Atta Akyea’s denial of the alleged meeting as infuriating, also slaughtered a lamb to reinforce the curse.
“After meeting the person, you have sat on television to deny ever meeting him under such circumstances. That is what infuriates me,” he said.
He further invoked curses against any individuals peddling falsehoods against the flagbearer hopeful, warning that attempts to cast aspersions on Kennedy Agyapong’s character would not be tolerated.
Kennedy Agyapong, during an appearance on UTV earlier in the week, alleged that Atta Akyea denigrated former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo during a conversation at Heathrow Airport.
However, appearing on the same channel on Wednesday, Mr Atta Akyea described the claims as a “baseless lie,” stating that he has no recollection of ever meeting Mr Agyapong at the airport, let alone discussing the former President.
“Let me tell you something, it is a baseless lie. I have never met Akompreko at Heathrow and discussed Nana Akufo-Addo with him before,” he said, referring to Kennedy Agyapong by his nickname.
Mr Atta Akyea further argued that even if such a meeting had occurred and he had made critical remarks, Mr Agyapong’s decision to publicise a private conversation would reveal flaws in his character.
“In fact, even if it is true that we met at Heathrow and I insulted Nana Akufo-Addo in our conversation, and he has come out to disclose it, it will confirm how loose a cannon he is. It is just like me and you having a conversation behind closed doors; if I should go and disclose it, it tells about your character that you can’t contain confidential information,” he added.
Challenging Mr Agyapong to provide evidence, the former Works and Housing Minister dared him to produce passport stamps to verify their alleged presence at Heathrow Airport at the same time.
“Again, he should go and bring his passport and let me bring mine so he can prove the time stamp showing our presence at Heathrow Airport. I have never met him at Heathrow to discuss Nana Akufo-Addo and neither do I recall ever meeting him at Heathrow Airport,” Mr Atta Akyea stated.
